• Abstract summary: We analyze theoretically the corresponding atomic ensemble dynamics in terms of the rotation of a collective spin vector and the incoherent quantum jumps among superradiant Dicke states. We develop a mean field theory, which is also applicable to model frequency measurements with steady-state superradiance signals.

• Abstract: A recent experiment demonstrated heterodyne detection-based frequency measurements with superradiant pulses from coherently pumped strontium atoms in an optical lattice clock system, while another experiment has analyzed the statistics of superradiant pulses from incoherently pumped calcium atoms in a similar system. In this article, we propose to perform heterodyne detection of the superradiant pulses from the calcium atoms, and analyze theoretically the corresponding atomic ensemble dynamics in terms of the rotation of a collective spin vector and the incoherent quantum jumps among superradiant Dicke states. We examine the effect of quantum measurement backaction on the emitted field and the collective spin vector dynamics, and we demonstrate that it plays an essential role in the modelling of the frequency measurements. We develop a stochastic mean field theory, which is also applicable to model frequency measurements with steady-state superradiance signals, and to explore quantum measurement effects in the dynamics of atomic ensembles.

  We study a model of amplification of quantum transfer and making it directed which we call the quantum ratchet model. The ratchet effect is achieved in the quantum control model with dissipation and sink, where the Hamiltonian depends on vibrations in the energy difference synchronized with transitions between energy levels. Amplitude and frequency of the oscillating vibron together with the dephasing rate are the parameters of the quantum ratchet which determine its efficiency.

  We show that the ensemble-averaged shifts can be suppressed below the level of evaluated systematic uncertainties for state-of-the-art optical atomic clocks. Our work demonstrates that such a clock is a novel platform for studies of the quantum many-body physics of spins with long-range interactions mediated by propagating photons.

  We formulate a model of a quantum particle continuously monitored by detectors measuring simultaneously its position and momentum. For sparsely distributed detectors, we use methods from renewal theory of processes to obtain some semi-analytic results.

  We consider an ensemble of Alkali atoms that are continuously optically pumped and probed. Due to the collective scattering of photons at large optical depth, the steady state of atoms does not correspond to an uncorrelated tensor-product state. We find and characterize regimes of Raman lasing, akin to the model of a superradiant laser.
